Hey y'all, please "grow" easy on me, lol, pun absolutely intended 🤣 Anyway, I have 3 fem Afghani from Growers Choice and one of em continues to sprout new growth that looks sunburned but is not. Leaves are moist, feel healthy, but continue to grow curled nearly shut
Open
Leaves. Edges burnt
Leaves. Curl up
Leaves. Twisted

So I can find no reason or rhyme for this, STILL! It's getting progressively worse on a daily basis. The only thing I've been able to find that looks remotely like what I have going on are hemp mites I think they're called? Anyone familiar with those? Could really use some help here. Considering trashing an extremely large extremely healthy plant for fear of whatever this may be spreading to my others.

Not wasted anyone's time. So your other plants doing fine and there in same location. You have had a heat wave but the other plants have managed it fine. So it could be something to do with the genetics if the plant. Try watering a little lower in the ph scale try 6.4 just incase the ph is out of scale for the nutrients it needs to absorb. A really stupid question but one I'm going ask. Do you have any pets that may have pissed on it. Only saying this as a tomato plant of mine was doing really bad and I couldn't figure out what was up. Then I spotted my neighbours dog pissing on it. Don't know how many times it had done that but I'd imagine it was a lot.

Man it might be. I'm in southern AZ and we just finished our first week of 105 + degree temps and that is when this started but her sisters aren't doing it, bone of my outdoor plants are. I gave her partial shade for a few days after I noticed it thinking it was stress, and tried pruning a chunk of it off too, and she went ahead and sprouted new growth that looks like all the other shit lol 🤷 pH is at 6.8 she gets all the water she wants more or less and is planted in a really nice dappled shade area that stays much cooler than the rest of this godforsaken desert lmao. I meant to send this as a response to an answer a guy gave me, but I'm new to this app so I might post this as an answer to my own question smh, sorry if I waste anybody's time lol.

It could be heat stress. Is it all over the plant or just the side the sun hits most the day.
